Or, you know.... make football more accessible to the working class that has carried the sport since its infancy?

Football is at its core a working class sport. But ever increasing ticket prices has driven the working class out of the stands and into their couches if they want to watch. And now ever increasing broadcast fees and splintering broadcast rights will drive people to streaming because they cannot afford to keep up.

Don't produce more football. Make it accessible to all.

Fifa president faces legal proceedings

Swiss prosecutors launch legal proceedings against Fifa president Gianni Infantino over alleged secret meeting with Swiss attorney general.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

It needed shutting down after the Blatter and Platini fiasco but they allowed it to trundle on and now this. The sooner it is replaced the better. The name is synonymous with bribery and corruption.

I wish the Swiss would take their responsibilities seriously having provided a home for FIFA and UEFA.....and arrest the lot on corruption charges.

And enact a law allowing them to recover all the illgotten gains these lot have accumulated.

In today's edition of "FIFA is truly rotten", Infantino claims that running the world cup every 2 years will "prevent African refugees from drowning in the Mediterranean"....

These fucking cunts literally have no shame, attempting to line their already overflowing pockets by monetising dead African refugees.

Fifa president: more World Cups could save African migrants from death in the sea

I wish that hell really existed, just to know there would be a special place there for them
 
Currently reading this, only half way through but truly shocking stuff. Published a few years ago but obviously still very current.

Absolutely laughable. Particularly as Infantino was elected as the post-corruption candidate.

Sadly the answer could be 'you should have seen the other guys'

Both FIFA and UEFA now have access to wealth beyond most moderately sized countries, and it is controlled by a self perpetuating group of people - it might work if FIFA and/or UEFA were run by a benevolent dictatorship, but all the evidence coming out suggests there is no benevolence, just a lot of self interest.

Really is time that system was smashed. Just a question as how to do that and how to put an alternative structure in its place.
 
lol he only wants a World Cup every two years to make more money! As if he gives a damn about kids. It's the big fat cheques him and his crooked mates are thinking of.

Greedy bastards.

This is a country that made a killing on war profiteering and Nazi gold, corruption isn't exactly new to them.
 
Never forget when that comedian made such an impressive mockery of Blatter in a press conference throwing fake money at him.

Watching the notes flutter in the air, surrounding an astonished and greedy old man was/is priceless.

Minutes a half? :mourshock:

To be fair that’s probably close to how much actually gets played if you take out all the times the games stop for corners, thrown ins, free kicks etc. In fact according to the below we currently play around 26-27 minutes per half of actual football for a total of around 55 mins per game.
